    Herman was kind, gentle and caring. His love for others, especially his love for his family, was most notable. He
    will be deeply missed by us all.
    We treasure the good memories.

    Let us believe the gospel and live for the Lord now. Let's look forward to the coming reunion. May the Lord comfort all of the family, especially his dear wife, Geri....

    In your life together there were thousands of kisses, none as special as the first and none so sad as the last. In your loss, may your love re-capture memories long forgotten, gestures and words of comfort and may God keep you in His Love until you are re-united in the House of the Lord.
    You are in my thoughts & prayers, Patsey

    i wish i could be there for all of you, i wish i could have seen uncle herman one last time. that being said i take pride in knowing god will watch over him and all his family, being so far away and in the military doing what my nation ask, i realize how frail life is, it's not about money or fame, its about the people who you inspired, loved, and gave hope to. Uncle herman you in my mind will always be a symbol of hope and undying love for your family. to all those who knew herman, be strong and know god is watching over our herman simpson. i love you all so much,
